By Renata Czarniecka Here’s an old trick that we found useful for proving some tight complexity lower bounds. You are given m coins, each of weight either a or b, and a modern scale that can tell you the total weight of any chosen subset of coins. How many weighings do …read more From:: Banach’s

By sank I think we have an exciting program that awaits us during HALG 2019: http://highlightsofalgorithms.org/speakers. Please remember that the call for short contributed talks ends this week – on 15th of March. …read more From:: Banach’s Algorithmic Corner
